Calla POV
I guess I must've fallen asleep as I awoke to my shoulder's being lightly shaken. I slowly open my eyes to see James leaning over me. I had to blink a few times to moisten my eyes so I could get used the lighting. James began speaking once I got my bearings, "You should get changed, we're almost at Hogwarts."
I looked around noticing all four boys had already changed into the uniform. I nodded, grabbing my bag with my change of clothes and heading to the bathrooms. I quickly changed and headed back. But just as I made it to the compartment door my path was blocked by a boy.
His face although handsome was ruined by the scowl planted upon it. He pushes past me, "Get out of my way mudblood". His voice full of anger and annoyance. I frown, shaking my head lightly I open the door and am immediately drawn to the window.
I see the vast black lake before rising into a huge castle. Lily would constantly describe it to me but it was nothing compared to seeing the real thing. James smiled at me before scooting over allowing me to sit down. All too soon the train stopped and we gathered our stuff heading off onto the boats.
Since there were only allowed to be 4 people per boat Peter and Remus went to a different boat with a nice looking boy introduced as Frank Longbottom. I looked down nervously as the boat slowly sailed through the lake. Sirius nudged me "What are you looking at?"
I look up, "Lily told me about the ginormous squid that lives in the black lake." James smiled "The squid won't bother us, we're perfectly safe on the boat." I nodded, still not quite convinced.
James must've noticed because he grabbed my hand reassuringly. I only hoped it was dark enough so he wouldn't catch the heavy blush on my cheeks. Soon enough we made it to the other side of the lake. We were immediately separated since first years had to go in last to get sorted. Lily found me before she headed in and wished me luck.
I could hear the loud chatter from outside the big doors of the great hall. Professor McGonagall was talking us through the ceremony when the doors opened, signaling our entrance. We slowly filed in, I kept my head down. I could feel my heart pounding.
Professor Dumbledore said a few words before a chair was placed in the middle of the hall and Professor McGonagall brought over the sorting hat. After it starting singing I tuned the rest out. Professor McGonagall's voice snapped me out of thoughts, "Calla Evans".
Everyone was staring at me so I assumed I had missed the first time she called my name. With my cheeks burning I stepped up to the chair and allowed Professor McGonagall to place the hat on my head. "Ah, another Evans. I can see you are kind at heart. You care greatly for your family. Hm loyalty, courage, knowledge. I can see no other house but…
GRYFFINDOR!
Instantly the Great Hall was filled with cheering. I could see James, Sirius, and Remus jumping up waving me over. I immediately looked down at the ground quickly walking over the the boys.
The rest of the sorta ended fairly quickly and the feasting began. They had so much food I couldn't decide what to eat. By the time I finished I was completely stuffed. Sirius and James got into a fight about who got the last cream pie, "HEY! Give that to me." instead of answering, James swiftly smashed the pie into Sirius's face.
I burst out laughing and the look on Sirius's face told me I better run. "Uh, look at that the feast is ending." Everyone laughed at the scared look on my face. The feast was truly ending and we headed out of the great hall and toward the common room. I was fascinated everything i saw, especially the moving staircases. I almost missed the password to get past the fat lady portrait.
James sat next to me on the common room couch. I was just thinking back to how this day had been the most magical day ever. Figuratively and actually. Eventually almost everyone had filed out, either to go to bed or catch up with their friends.
James finally broke the silence. "Pretty cool huh?"
I smiled, "Pretty cool isn't even close to cutting it. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It's nice to be a part of something, back where I lived I was always overlooked by people and treated like a freak. I don't know why but I never could make friends and I would always hang out with Lily until she met Severus and got the letter to Hogwarts."
I looked down in embarrassment. I felt a finger gently lift my face up. "You don't have to worry about that anymore. Anyone who tries to mess with you will be
messing with me. Sirius and Remus too, they've taken a liking to you."
He sounded so sincere so I smiled at him before bringing my attention to the crackling fire.
